Hello and Happy Holidays EVERYONE!I hope your holiday season is going well. We have some announcements for you so let's get started!

The Player Feedback and Voting for the Frosty Mapmakers Contest 2024 begins on Christmas Eve!
All you have to do is go to your favorite map(s) out of the bunch and comment "HAPPY HOLIDAYS!"
The maps with the most holiday cheer will win the popular vote and get the lion's share of the points of the points.
We will count comments from 12 am on Christmas EVE in the Pacific Time Zone until until the end of the year.
The SR Advisory Council will judge on the remaining factors for a total possible score of 300 points. They are Map Design/Theme and Overall Judges Opinion.
You will get to see which maps will potentially make it into the new updated curated workshop map list for the upcoming season changes.

Here are all Frosty Mapmapers Contest 2024 submissions:

Next Announcement...

THE KING OF SPEED 2025 will be held this year on Saturday, March 22nd and Sunday, March 23rd.
Day ONE will be from Top 16 until the Top 4. Day TWO will be from Top 4 until completion.
We will have another opportunity for you to help crowdfund the prize pool and earn a special in game badge that you can only get by helping encourage the players to fight their hardest through a $5 or more donation to the overall prize pool.
So... get hype and be ready for us to crown a new King of Speed... or will we?

Last but not least is something that we wish to address...
We have worked tirelessly to make a inviting and friendly environment for players to learn and grow this fantastic game. This includes people submitting and creating maps as well.
Speedrunners as a whole is a small community and we should take care to encourage and lift others up. Unfortunately this hasn't always been the case recently.
So in this time of the year it is a good moment to remind everybody to be kind to each other, and have a good time playing this and other great games!

Well folks.. That it for now. Please leave feedback and holiday wishes in the comments below, and don't foreget to vote for your favorite maps! Love y'all.
